Is there anybody near Wilkes-Barre/Scranton area in PA who would like to chat. I'm completely new to the forum. I just started the pre-surgical work to have my procedure in January. I believe I'm going with the sleeve. I would love to make some new friends who can relate to this whole experience. Thank you!!

I'm still healing, but doing much better. I just started eating puréed food this week which was exciting.

That's awesome!! Congrats on your progress so far. I was really nervous starting this whole journey but now I am getting excited and can't wait for my procedure. Seeing how it works for everyone makes me feel a lot better about the choice I am making.

Hi, I'm in NY state, in the Catskills, but lived in PA years ago (Carbondale and then State College). I'd encourage you to spend some time on this site--there's a HUGE variety of topics discussed. And for sheer encouragement when you want or need it, check out some of the threads of before/after pictures! Sooooo inspiring!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
